Review of Lake of Fire (2006) by Pat P — 04 Nov 2008
Lake of Fire is the definitive film on abortion thus far, and it sets the standards for other documentaries. It is so beautifully shot, soseamless, and so passionate. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride yet it rarely editorializes and has very clever "twists.
" The film leaves the viewer decidewhere they stand on abortion, but isnot afraid to use graphic footage of fetuses being chopped into pieces and their body parts being held in fingers. Thefilmis truthfuland does not attempt to trivialize any one's stories, although it makes clear the hpocrisy by many "pro-life" activists who believe it is legitimate to kill people to save other people.
A less professionally made film that has more breadth is Unborn in the USA, which I also recommend (especialy if you liked Lake of Fire). I enjoyedthe commentary of the Academics in the film, but would have liked to see more commentary from pregnant or once pregnant mothers and teen girls.
The film just seemed a little too top down, which is one reason I also recommend Unborn in the USA.
